Books to Memorialize 9/11

I had every intention of compiling my own list of must-reads in honor of 9/11’s anniversary, but I quickly realized there are some pretty amazing lists out there already.My favorite list of books related to the tragedy at Ground Zero is over at one of my two favorite bookstores on the web – Hearts and Minds Books. It’s not only a great reading list for reflecting on the lessons of 9/11, but is alsoa spectacular list of reading for any of us going through grief, loss, suffering, and questions of faith.

The most intriguing book on the list? Well , for me it has to be “Fourteen Cows for America.” It’s a children’s book, an illustrated book, but it is also a work of art and an amazing story of the interconnectedness of humanity.
